INDONLSIA
YOU'I'~ INVOLVED IN DRUC TRAFFIC NELD IN PROTECTIVE CUS'~ODY
JakerCa KOMPAS in Indoneeian 17 Apr 79 pp 1, 9
lExcerptgJ ~or the pest 2 weeks~ Badung Police Reeort and rolice Regional
Command XV~ Lesser Sundae, hgve~eought B~ age 16, who participated with police
authoriCiee in Kuta Sector in gan~a traffic. Yesterdey~ it was revealed that
B is under protective custody of Military Police Regional Command, Military
Area Command/163/Hali. R wae held in connection with Police Headquerters
inetructions to determine the number of police involved in narcoticg traffic.
Respoc~ding to a KOMPAS question about public fears that rhe case against B
aould be shelved~ Major Endang Permana declared that th~.~s would not happen. ~
Moreover, the Military Police Regi~n would ~oin in the iriv~estigation to
guarantee that the problem aas reaolved. This ie because until the curtain
, that envelops those involved is parted, efforte to ciean up narcoCics traffic
will fail. '
Several KOMPAS eources eaid they were surpri~ed at police acCivity in B's
c~se. Those sources said that there were many casee reflecting greater police
involvement which had not been resolved. For example, Steven Rasmussen and
- Wendy Lisa Fredmaa had clearly been coerced by investigative pereonnel into .
agY.:eing to a senteace of 20 years or a fine of 20 million rupiahs.
~ In sddi.tion~ the two indicated that police had presented the evidence to
them only after 35 days in ~ail. Properly, the documents of confiscation
of evidence should have be~n pr~aented on the day of arrest. The two accused
also lost two cameras and other gooda worth about 2.5 million rupiahs which '
were aeized.
}
Th~ Denpasar court finally released the two becauBe it could aot be prov~n that
tt~ coafiscated goods belonged to them. According to tbe accused, ~he druge
belonged to a local friend, who wae held by the police and later freed.
A KOMPAS eource in the Deupaear court said that a aimilar case took place on
23 March. A suapect named Wolfgang Wagner would not admit to owning 2.5 -
kilograms of hashish. Mean�~hile, a woman friend of his, arrested with him.
had been freed. Wolfgang finally received a yea~t in prieon and a fine of
400,000 rupiahs. _
